Default dual ESC's

I am having trouble after trouble with bec's and Im sick of it. I am running two super rooster esc's and a 3 cell lipo. I heard that I could turn both of them on (to get more juice to my servos) and not fry anything. Does anyone know if this is true or false?

its true but with a 3 cell lipo it still won't be much. Castle BEC is your freind.

Yeah, you might have 4 amps max with that sort of input voltage. One BEC will always take the load too, because of slight differences in the output voltage. When it tires out the second will take over, but it still wont double the BEC capacity like one might assume.
